DEFINITION
The Status Index’s overall result represents the mean value of the scores for the dimensions “Political Transformation� and “Economic Transformation�. The mean value was calculated using the exact, unrounded values for both these dimensions, which, in turn, were derived from the ratings for the five political criteria (based on 18 indicators) and the seven economic criteria (based on 14 indicators). The table shows rounded scores for political and economic transformation as well as for the Status Index’s overall result. In some cases, therefore, the overall result differs slightly from the mean value.

A correlation is a statistical measure of similarity between at least two given sets of data. NationMaster's
correlations compare two variables from our database and reveal statistical relationships between them. The percentages
you see represent the strength (or likelihood) that a change in the topic variable is matched by a change in the listed
variables below it. But remember: These correlations do not imply causation, that is, one does not necessarily cause
the other. Also, not all variables contain all countries, rather subsets of countries matched together.
Outliers have been removed only where they are outside 3 standard deviations of the mean.
Only variable pairs where at least 15 countries match for each have been considered.
Strength is given by the correlation coefficient (R squared). It is the fraction of variation in Y that can be attributed to the variation in X. 100% signifies a perfect fit (R squared of 1). The top 50 such stats are displayed
